Hey Jennett...one of the best and brightest to graduate from Aquinas. I can't believe you graduated 10 years ago...seems like I had you as a senior just yesterday. Hope everything and well and thanks so much for the kind words. Teaching is usually a thankless profession so a comment like yours means the world to me.

Appreciate you taking the time to let me know it was helpful. I'm going to put together another video this week with a PDF document to help organize your notes during the exam so check back. Best of luck to you on the exam!!!!!

Your teacher really needs to be teaching DBQ’s

SGT PANCAKEFACE i’ve had two teachers this year and the first, everyone went on our phones everyday and she never taught. the new one teaches but not to the ap curriculum :(. so i’ve self studied everything at this point

manpreet RIP

My teacher his names Mr. Follis taught us how to do a DBQ on the 2nd week of school. We’ve done 5 DBQ’s this year.

Awesome....good luck. You got this!!!

I know its 8 months later, but how did the test go?

@@JesusHernandez-db5jk Got a 5! :))))

@@saberfan Nice! Currently a freshman in high school taking AP World History hoping I can score at least a 4

@@JesusHernandez-db5jk I recommend watching heimler history! If you didn’t know about him before. I just drilled his videos in my head. Also look up online ap world review packets, resources, etc!

Giddy up....perfect timing indeed. Good luck

@zafir kamdar Good luck. Remember to connect the HIPP back to the content of the document. "Zafir, writing with the purpose of commenting on Mr. Rupertus KZfaq channel, kept his message informal and short."

Awesome, Jonah. Thanks for letting me know that it was helpful. Appreciate it.

Thanks so much for this comment. Sorry to hear that your teacher isn't as helpful as you need. Hopefully, my videos will continue to be of assistance. Appreciate you letting me know. Good luck throughout the year!!

So happy the video could help you. I think sourcing is the hardest part of the DBQ. Good luck

Great idea. I'll work on one over the next week or two.

Hey Drucillia, Thank you so much for the kind words. You seriously made my day. I have so many positive memories of having you in class at Aquinas. Hope everything is going well!!!

So happy that the video was helpful. I'm appreciative that you took the time to write and let me know. I hope the essay goes well!

Happy it helped and thanks for the reply to the other question on here. Your answer was perfect

Awesome!!! So glad to hear it was helpful. Appreciate you taking the time to let me know!!!

Sophia, Sorry for the delay in responding to this. I believe that 2-3 sentences maximum per document is all you have time for. I encourage my students to never just summarize the document because there is no need for it. Just explain how the document connects to the topic sentences/thesis. Then HIPP the document in another sentence. Don't worry about making it flow. Outside of the complexity point (which no one ever gets) there is no point for having your essay flow. No grammar/style points. It is a lot to do in 45 minutes. Way more than I could have done as a sophomore in high school.

Thanks so much Moriya. So happy to hear that it is helpful.

Glad it helped. Thanks for letting me know. Good luck!!!

Thank you so much. I really wanted to make sure it was clear on how to do it. It's not an easy skill. Good luck!!

Good luck and hope the video helps

Jason Rupertus thanks

My man...

The HIPP needs to connect to what is written in the document but it doesn't need to connect specifically to the argument.

Jason Rupertus So as long as I do a decent job on analyzing the documents, I could get the point?

@@user-wl4tm6vt3v Correct. Use the documents to prove your topic sentence/thesis. And then explain the HIPP of the document. If you do that well, you will ace the exam

Jason Rupertus Thank you. I was very confused when my teacher said that “your Hipp needs to support your claim”

Jason Rupertus omggggggg I realized I forgot to put stuffs like doc 1 doc 2 to show I used the documents, is that fine?

2 1/2 hours - starts at 2pm eastern time

That is correct. Could do Historical context for Doc 1 and then Intended Aud for Doc 2, etc. All up to you. Could also just do purpose.

Kevin, don’t describe the documents, say how it supports your thesis. You HIPP in a paragraph that you’re using documents. You could be saying how a British official Is supporting your statement but keep in mind he is Pro British and will speak highly of his nation/organization.

SGT Pancakeface (can't believe I just typed that) is totally right. 1-2 sentences showing how the document supports your thesis/topic sentence and then another sentence for the HIPP. You could combine it into one sentence but at this point in the game I would separate it.

I know the feeling. Make a quick reminder sheet for yourself

No. This video was made before Covid struck. You'll get 5 documents and have to correctly HIPP 2 of them. If you try and HIPP all 5 and two are correctly done and 3 are not, you'll still get the point.

@@jasonrupertus3360 Ohh thank you so much, saved me 5 minutes before my exam

The document needs to connect back to your thesis. The HIPP explains how what is in the document is influenced by Historical context, intended audience, etc. But no, the HIPP sentences doesn't have to connect back to your thesis.

@@jasonrupertus3360 thanks for the clarification, and thanks for making this video, it really helped me do better at sourcing

@@jasonrupertus3360 And it doesn't have to be relevant to the thesis as well right?

@@Aaron-fe2ih That is correct. Use the document to prove your thesis (1-2 sentences) and then another sentence to HIPP it but that HIPP sentence doesn't have to be relevant to the thesis. Needs to be relevant to the doucment

@@jasonrupertus3360 I'm just gonna stick with historical, for example, in the apwh sample 2020, During this time, Imperialism, a foreign influence brought into places for raw materials, brought resistance to many countries. This also created document 1 because it shows a resistant in the Ashanti empire against the british

There is a reason why this is my most viewed video. Hope it helped a little. HIPPing is tough

Good luck!!!!!

@@jasonrupertus3360 Thank you!! It went well

Nah man. So hard to know. In 15 teaching this course, I’ve found most people feel that way. Few get done thinking they dominated

Jason Rupertus the prompt was easy it’s just as usual i struggle to understand the docs and then i make a bad thesis

@@qlex999 Good news is your are done and it'll be July by the time you find out your scores and school will be done. So there's that...

down to 9

I do too, sometimes
